Found: Vintage Sheet Music

It's pretty unusual, in my experience, to find good vintage and antique sheet music in thrift stores.
I'm always surprised when I find nice ones, and pleasantly so when they are priced at ten cents apiece.
I've been collecting music for many years, and I have certainly paid much more than that at antique shops and antique fairs!
I found a number of them recently, and was happy to add them to my collection.

The Wedding Of The Sunshine And The Rose:

La Brasiliana Tango:

A Star Fell Out Of Heaven:

Suppose The Rose Were You:

The Song Of A Mother's Heart:

Just A Baby's Prayer At Twilight (For Her Daddy Over There):

I first heard the song above on Michael Feinstein's album "Over There".
It is a beautiful composition about a little girl praying for her Daddy, who is away helping to fight the war. I honestly got goose bumps just now writing this, as I heard the song and the lyrics in my head. I think I looked for it on iTunes a short while ago, and it wasn't available, unfortunately. I wish you could hear it.......
Just a couple more pieces of music to share.....
After The War Is Over:

The Rose Of No Man's Land:

Some of these pieces are nearly one hundred years old, and I'm awfully glad they survived, so that I could find them.

Gold Country Girls

About The Gold Country Girls:

We are three sisters who grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, in the area known as the Gold Country, and the Mother Lode. My name is Heidi, and I began this blog in September of 2007 with the hope that my sisters would join in somewhere along the way. I'm happy to say that they do, indeed contribute!On this blog, you will find that I write a lot about thrift store shopping - one of my favorite pastimes! I absolutely LOVE scoring a great deal on vintage items. I am a collector (of FAR too many things!), and I also have a booth in Jamestown, California where I sell vintage and antique collectibles and housewares, clothing, etc. We also write about memories, family, friends, sewing, local history in the Gold Country area and beyond, crafting, cooking, our favorite places to go (for me, that's Disneyland!), music, entertainment - pretty much anything that strikes our fancy! Maybe something we have to say, show, or tell will strike a chord within you, or spark a memory. We hope so, and we LOVE comments, so please do share your thoughts. And come along with us on our journey.....
